You could extract the objects of the desired type from the list into the array, but wouldn't that slow down the execution and unnecessarily allocate memory? Maybe there could be a where() version for lists: where([DataType_Type type,] condition) ? It would only perform a test on a certain type of elements. If not, the proposed list2array makes sense.
